I smiled “you really want to know?” he was nodding and smiling. His interest far too engaging.

“Fine, Fine! Well the first one I was still married to you, we still had Sevie and Bertie in fact not much had changed other than Ron and Hermione not being married. The second one…well I was married to… Cedric, but he wasn’t the Cedric I knew, he was a Death Eater, probably because of me and we had kids but they were older, probably in Slytherin, people kept calling me Lady Louisa it was horrible. And then… well, I’m pretty sure he was having an affair, or I was.”

“Bet it was you” retaliated Charlie “if the world was ruled by Voldemort, you’d never have handled it. Maybe you and me…” his thoughts seemed to disappear into another world.

“Err… hello? Back in the real world… I mean the second one. Uncle was alive. I saw him. I couldn’t speak though. Scorpius had to do that. I feel terrible.” I did and it wasn't just speaking about it. my head, my heart...

“and you’re sure this wasn’t just in your head? I mean like a bad dream or something?” I admit Charlie’s thoughts were emanating my own but this had been real. They were real I had felt every part of it.

“No dream. I wish it had been.” I said. I couldn’t help touching his face, checking it was him, that he was real. That everything was fine.
